Mean bison living in Buffalo, New York

I love the English language. The following sentence is grammatically correct, and it thrills me to think about its fabulously complicated (yet simple) structure.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

It makes so much sense to me now, I don't even have to look it up to remember where the capital-Bs go! And you can string any number of "buffalo"s together to make a perfectly good sentence -- even just one.
